Hit-and-Run Crashes in Florida
Florida sees a high number of hit-and-run accidents annually, with cases like this one underscoring the challenges victims face. Drivers involved in hit-and-run incidents often flee the scene to avoid accountability, leaving victims to navigate complex legal and recovery processes.
Florida law requires drivers involved in accidents to remain at the scene and exchange information. Failing to do so is a criminal offense, with significant penalties for offenders, especially if injuries are involved. Victims of hit-and-run accidents should promptly report the incident, document evidence when possible, and seek medical care for any injuries.
For those affected by hit-and-run crashes, Florida’s personal injury protection (PIP) insurance provides some coverage for medical expenses, but additional claims may be necessary to secure full compensation for damages.
